Unraveling Language with Corpus Magic │ A Dive into Grammar

Updated: Dec 3, 2023


Hey fellow language explorers! Today, I'm thriled to share an exciting adventure we've designed with my partner Belinay using corpus-based material. It's like diving into the depths of language, and I can't wait to walk you through it.



Our main goal is crystal clear: to empower students with a deeper understanding of language nuances. After this adventure, students will confidently distinguish between "raise" and "rise." We're aiming for a lightbulb moment where language clarity prevails.


This material is created with intermediate-advanced level high school students in mind, especially those navigating the tricky waters of "raise" and "rise". Whether you're a student eager to hone your language skills or an educator looking for a fresh teaching approach, this adventure is for you.


Our spotlight is on "raise" and "rise"—those sneaky words that often trick us. By the end of this journey, learners should not only grasp the technicalities but also feel comfortable applying them in real-life situations.


Crafting this adventure was a rollercoaster of creativity and precision. We wanted it to be engaging, hence the visuals using Canva. The step-by-step guiide ensures a smooth learning flow, keeping things fun and interactive. It's not just about teaching; it's about creating an experience.


Now, let's address the elephant in the room. Group activities, while beneficial, might encounter participation issues. Not everyone is equally comfortable sharing thoughts. Also, technical glitches might sneak in when using the corpus online. These challenges call for flexibility in approach, ensuring everyone sails smoothly through the language voyage.


As you embark on this linguistic escapade, remember to share your thoughts on the comments section. How do you think the objectives will align with learners’ learning experience? Does the material hit the right notes for the language focus?
